Is Lan Yue really her brother Gu Yachen, and where exactly is he now, is he dead or alive?
Gu Jiayin gazed into the vast night, not knowing where to return to at this mont.
So things are too important. Once lost, once felt the ultimate pain, ti heals the wound, the pain stays in the heart, and life can continue silently like this.
But, the most feared thing is to receive anew and then lose it again heartbreakingly.
Pain, her heart ached unbearably.
The phone rang, at this midnight hour.
She lowered her head to swipe the screen, it was an unfamiliar number.
But she picked up anyway.
"Jiayin."
The voice on the other end was deep and gentle, though clearly weak, yet she imdiately recognized it, "Lan Yue!"
Gu Yachen was sitting weakly in a car parked in the dark corner of the street, leaning against the seatback, squinting through his eyes at the woman standing bewildered on the street.
Driving him was one of his n.
He managed to leave the Sheng Family’s private hospital stealthily, all thanks to this subordinate’s cunning tactics.
He didn’t want to see her sad, so he forced himself to endure the pain of his wound tearing again, barely injecting a trace of laughter into his voice, "I’m fine, don’t worry."
Gu Jiayin finally felt her suspended heart settle down, "Where are you?"
"I’m about to leave Licheng City."
Yes, he had to leave imdiately, his mission’s failure was unexpected, he couldn’t let Sheng Qianchi find any clue, or it would bring endless trouble.
Gu Jiayin only felt a certain emotion stripping away from her body like receding tides, "Are you coming back?"
Gu Yachen said nothing, he would return, return to find her, to take her away from this city of grief, but he couldn’t say that now.
Gu Jiayin hesitated repeatedly, but still asked, "Are you my brother?"
She was extrely nervous, her body stiffened intensely, waiting for his answer, every second long as a century.
Afraid he’d say he was, afraid he’d say he wasn’t.
If he was, why wouldn’t he acknowledge their kinship, how would they recount these seven years apart?
But if he wasn’t, then her freshly kindled hope would be rcilessly extinguished.
She waited, he was silent.
Half a minute later, he said, "No."
She was unwilling to give up, "Your eyes are too similar."
"Mm," his tone was very light, "I used to admire your brother, unwittingly he influenced ."
She bit her lower lip hard, "Then why are you so good to ? Don’t give that la reason about two candies again."
Yes, if that night she had been bewitched by his gestures and eyes resembling Gu Yachen, and believed that miraculous reason of the little beggar, but now calm, she was still not entirely convinced, no one would risk their life twice for soone over two candies.
Say he likes her, but she couldn’t see intense love in his eyes, because his eyes were too pure.
Gu Yachen was silent again.
He also knew that the reason he improvised that night was sowhat childish, so he needed to offer a more convincing reason.
A mont later, he said, "I was just teasing you. You giving candy indeed touched my young heart, and I have since kept an eye on you, but that’s not the main reason. I protect you so much because..."
His gaze remained firmly fixed on her slender figure, strong kinship spreading outward like mist,
"Because your brother saved my life. Back then, begging at your school’s entrance, I almost got beaten to death by the old beggar there, it was your brother who saved , and he gave a sum of money to start a good life. Without your brother, I wouldn’t be who I am today."
"So," he said, his tone plain yet resolute, "I’m willing to take care of you on behalf of your brother."
Gu Jiayin finally gave up, tears just fell like that, "No one can replace him."
Gu Yachen was also moved to tears, "Alright, no replacent, I’ll be your other big brother."
"Brother." Gu Jiayin finally called him brother, because of that natural sentint.
"Hey." Through teary eyes, Gu Yachen looked at the woman in the distance, his voice choked, this word "brother", was long overdue.
At last, he said, "I must leave imdiately. Take care, I’ll co back to find you."
Gu Jiayin just cried.
Before hanging up, Gu Yachen left a reminder, "Leave Sheng Qianchi, he’s not suitable for you."
Yes, he ultimately believed Sheng Qianchi was not her Mr. Right, because he knew Sheng Qianchi’s mother was involved in the shipwreck back then.
No matter whether Sheng Qianchi truly loves her, there’s always hatred between them.
Back then, Qin Zhennan and Gu Shaohua conspired to orchestrate the shipwreck incident, tricking everyone, but never expected that all these conspiracies were witnessed by one person, and that was Gu Jiaceng.
And this secret, Gu Jiaceng did not hide from Gu Yachen.
After the call ended, Gu Jiayin lowered her hand holding the phone, staring blankly at the dark ground.
Suddenly it started to rain.
No thunder or lightning, yet the rain poured freely.
The slanting raindrops drenched her long hair and cheeks, tears and rain no longer distinguishable.
A voice kept echoing in her mind: Leave Sheng Qianchi, he’s not suitable for you.
Indeed, she also felt he wasn’t suitable for her. Her current confusion and hesitation were rely because she had been lonely for too long, too attached to his kindness.
Gu Yachen woke her up.
What is there left to hesitate about? They are not from the sa world in the first place, this encounter is the joke that should be forgotten the most.
Suddenly an umbrella appeared overhead, a familiar voice, a familiar scent, a familiar man.
She looked up, he was gazing at her deeply.
He said, "I didn’t drive Lan Yue away, he left on his own."
"I believe you."
Yes, now calm, she believed Sheng Qianchi didn’t drive Lan Yue away, because he was too proud.
Sheng Qianchi, excitedly pulling her into his embrace, rubbed her hair with his chin, "Let’s go ho."
She pushed him away, too rational and cold, "Sheng Qianchi, I said yesterday I’d think it over carefully, now I’ve made up my mind."
"Gu Jiayin!" Sheng Qianchi suddenly grabbed her arm roughly, refusing to hear her second half of the sentence, knowing from her utterly cold deanor what the answer would be, "Don’t speak, let’s go ho."
Gu Jiayin smiled faintly, lifting her face, a sense of distancing him a thousand miles away, "Sheng Qianchi, I won’t choose you."
Sheng Qianchi stared unblinkingly at the woman so close, eyes churning like a storm, ultimately dissipating, "Gu Jiayin, yesterday you promised you’d consider it carefully, today you ruthlessly reject , how cheap is your sincerity?"
Gu Jiayin remained calm, she lowered her gaze, no longer eting his, "So fates are destined by heaven, and ours is shallow. No matter how long I think, the result is the sa, so whether it’s a day, a year, or just a second, it makes no difference."
She peeled away his fingers one by one, "In the future, mountains high and rivers far, let’s never et again."
She turned and walked away, unafraid of the increasingly fierce rain, "Sheng Qianchi, take care."
